...and despite Steve Shaw's protestations that it's not allowed in the rule book, it's clear that both the Pope and Delaney's Donkey would be permitted the use of condoms - depending on which side is which....

I have to say that there are lots of things in this discussion that I just don't understand:

• When is it that a right-or-wrong decision is not a moral decision? And why?
• Is one required to be religious if one uses the word "sacred"?
• Where can I get a copy of this list of logic-defying Catholic rules that Steve Shaw is always referring to?
• If the Pope says that condoms can be used for prevention of the spread of HIV/AIDS, where can I find the rules that Steve Shaw says invalidate the Pope's declaration?
• If some people believe that the world came to be by a 6-day intervention by God, what harm does that belief create that it must be opposed and attacked so vehemently? In other words, whether evolution created or God created, why should anybody care?
